“We had a wonderful week's stay at the 'Appleyard.' From the initial booking through to the final departure, Steven, (the owner) provided excellent communication, including travel advice, inventory listings and advice on things to do and see in the locality. We were greeted by Steven on arrival who then gave a brief but very thorough run through of the abundant facilities. The description of the property was a true reflection of what we found, which is very tastefully decorated, well equipped and extremely comfortable and homely. (We especially appreciated the footstools where we could put our feet up in the evening after long and beautiful walks). The location is exceptionally quiet and tranquil, making it very easy to connect with the outdoors and nature, which all lent itself to a relaxing time to unwind and recharge our batteries. Without hesitation, we would visit again in the future, and would highly recommend Hammoon Manor.”

Steven, I'd just like to say thank you for our lovely stay last week. We had a wonderful time in your beautiful accommodation. There was so much space both inside and outside the properties for three generations of a family to have a fun and relaxing stay. The decor and overall presentation of the property is beautiful and extremely high and as a very keen gardener and lover of nature I really appreciated your walled garden and the acres of meadow and riverside all around the property. .We would not hesitate to return.

If we could give it 10 stars we would! The most peaceful and relaxing stay we have ever had. Steven is brilliant, just so nice and helpful, gave lots of personal recommendations for places to eat and visit ahead of our stay. You get a very warm welcome and immediately know you have made a great choice. The accomodation is to a very high standard, we had our best sleeps ever, a very comfortable bed indeed. The setting is delightful, I doubt you could find a better place to wind the days away or as a base for visiting the surrounding area. Ron & Michele

We were made to feel very welcome in this lovely barn. Was everything and more than we expected. Especially the gardens and walks by the river. Ideally placed to travel and explore Dorset with good access to the places and friends we wanted to visit. Good selection of local pubs and restaurants- would recommend The Saxon Inn. Regarded this holiday as a taster and will certainly be back. Thank you, Steven & Georgina, for sharing your beautiful home.

“I have been all over the world and have stayed and dined at numerous hotels. Since 1991 I have stayed several times, every year, at Plumber Manor and I can in all honesty say that I have nowhere felt as comfortable and at home as in that wonderful little Country Hotel tucked away in lovely Dorset. Also the food and wine list are superb and the fact that Plumber Manor was elected best Hotel in Southern England in 2024 is totally justifiable.”

“The food was amazing here with a good choice of tapas. There were a good variety of gluten free options on the menu. The service was a little slow, but they had a huge party of people to deal with and kept us informed. Lovely choice of cocktails and mocktails, too.”

“This really is a gem, nicely located, very clean WC/shower & washing up/dining area too, albeit only the one-but it worked fine even with a weekend influx for the Sturminster Newton cheese festival ( more of a locally produced food fayre-highly recommended if you’re a foodie ). I’d like to (gently) remind campers that etiquette dictates when all the other campers have gone lights out, it’s not polite to sit up in a group talking loudly preventing them from sleeping... Sounds censorious? Depends on how stressful your life is. However, we were lucky enough to hear ( & see barn owls ) plus little And tawny owls! Nice walks nearby, highly recommended. Four stars instead of five? The LED lighting with PIR trigger had us moving about repeatedly to retrigger the lights, which was a tad irksome. Headlamp torch 🙄 but not so good whilst showering...”

“Such a beautiful cafe, full of character and charm. Have visited a few times, with friends and with family. Each time I have visited, the service has been so welcoming, warm and friendly. The cakes are exceptional, the brownies in particular are a must try! The food is great value for money, so tasty and freshly cooked. We are so lucky to have this cafe in our town! (Also dog friendly with a little jar of biscuits on the side which I feel is a lovely extra bonus!)”

“Stayed in Marnhul for a midweek break, this the local pub. A great social hub. Locals friendly and welcoming. Landlord and staff were great. A special thanks to Mark for looking after us and the dog. It's not very often you get a really good and varied menu nowadays in a pub. This was both. We ate every night and the quality was outstanding. We had a great time.Thanks very much”
